Probably yes,
Try this,
SIFY Lan Cable---> Your 8 port Switch----
Then ---->Your PC1_LanCard_1_Configure IP given By SIFY
----> Your PC2_LanCard_1_Configure IP given By SIFY
This way both will be independent.
To Connect both PCs use A LAN Cable confgured to COnnect PC to PC (and not to PC to switch) assign an Internal IP address to additional Lancard.
IP Conflict would occur if you use Internet via your Switch on both computers at a time. Solution if Sify can grant to two IPs and IP unbinding to
Mac Address.
Another way would use
router, may be expensive.
SIFY comes to your router. Router is configured to use SIFY IP address. Connect your PCs to Router. Use PPP over ethernet to connect to SIFY from any computer.
You could use a TWO PORT Router or four port depending on how many computers u wanted share it with. SIFY may have legal issues and their Dialing Software may not allow this work, well check.

If ICS is used, the second computer would be dependant on the first. Is there a way to make both dependant??? using switch or router?[/b]
